Goose Creek CISD had the highest enrollment among Chambers County districts, welcoming 23,908 students during the 2021-22 academic year, according to the Texas Education Agency report.

Out of the total students welcomed in the 2021-22 school year, 51.4% of them were boys, and 48.6% were girls.

Data also showed that most of the students were Hispanic, representing 63.9% of the Goose Creek CISD total enrollment.

Among the four districts in Chambers County, Barbers Hill ISD ranked second in enrollment numbers with 6,818 students, while East Chambers ISD welcomed 1,542 students and ranked third in the 2021-22 school year.

Goose Creek CISD generally encompasses schools within Chambers County with its main office in Baytown.

In the previous school year, Goose Creek CISD had the highest number of students among Chambers County districts.

The Texas education system is currently torn between public schools and taxpayer-funded private schools.

Critics argue that private schools use funds that should go to the public school system, while private school advocates claim they’re offering better education for more Texas students.

Education in Texas is often a hot button issue, especially as test scores lag behind other states.

“The problems commonly cited are flaws in the school financing system, relatively low teacher salary, poor test performance by students, dropouts from traditional schools in favor of charter schools, gun violence, and mental health issues,” claimed the Texas Almanac.
